Officer Jenny Liya watched Beedrill talking to Roy and Lampent, wondering what the three were exchanging information about.
However, it seems that it is indeed safe now, and the Beedrill are all following the leader's orders and have not attacked.
Officer Jenny Liya turned on her Communicator to ask the other officers about the situation in other parts of the suburbs of Lilycove City.
However, most of the news we received indicated that the battle was still at a stalemate with the Bug Tide, and only Roy's side of the battlefield was unexpectedly peaceful.
In fact, if it weren't for the pressure from Gengar's Agatha, the main force of the Bug Tide on Route 121 might have already broken through to Lilycove City's urban area.
Roy roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter, and at the same time, he also connected it with Officer Jenny Liya had just said about Hunter X.
The opponent also appears in the anime, but that happens after Ash has already won the championship.
Hunter X attacked Latios and Latias in Water Capital, but the original trio arrived in time to provide support. However, Hunter X still managed to freeze Latios with his Petrifying Gun...
If he wasn't mistaken, the three-headed Pokémon Beedrill should be the opponent's main force Hydreigon.
He said that Hunter X would never Payback Hunter J. Pokémon hunters are basically a bunch of people who only care about money and not people. Where would they find any loyalty?
Furthermore, after stealing the Pokémon Egg from the Combee, Hunter X returned to Lilycove City, shifting his own crisis onto the Lilycove City, causing Bug Tide, hoping to reap the benefits himself.
That was a brilliant hand.
He's at least considerably smarter than Hunter J.
After learning what happened, the next step is to stop the Bug Tide. The key is to keep the leader of the Bug Tide, the Vespiquen who initiated it, under control.
Go back to Lilycove City, defeat Hunter X, and return the Combee's Pokémon Egg to Vespiquen. Then everything will be resolved.
As for the later populations of Primeape and Ursaring, according to Beedrill's description, it doesn't seem to be too serious. Roy had seen the recent news reports, so he roughly understands part of the reason.
The main problem with the current crisis in Lilycove City is actually the Bug Tide.
However, Roy saw this Bug Tide not only as a crisis, but also as a great opportunity to gain Popularity Points.
Not only can humans generate Popularity Points for him, Pokémon can as well, Popularity Points there are quite a few Bug-type Pokémon in this Bug Tide.
Seeing that Roy was still thinking and not saying a word, and that she hadn't understood anything, Officer Jenny Liya was getting anxious.
She had thought that the Bug Tide would recede once Agatha arrived, but it now seemed that this was not the case.
"Roy, what did you and the leader of that Beedrill talk about just now?"
Officer Jenny Liya couldn't help but ask:
"I recognize this Beedrill. I rescued Beedrill when they were still Weedle; they were also swept up by the Bug Tide..."
Roy recounted the events of Hunter X stealing the Vespiquen's Pokémon Egg to Officer Jenny Liya, but omitted the details of Beedrill leading a team to hunt down Bug Catcher.
"The Vespiquen! The Vespiquen from the outskirts of Lilycove City?"
You know?
"Of course I know. Normally, the Combee clans and Lilycove City keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't easily attack humans."
The Combee clan sometimes even trades with humans, exchanging their honey for Berry or healing sprays.
As the head of the League Police Bureau in Lilycove City, Officer Jenny Liya knew about the Vespiquen in the Lilycove Forest.
As the long-standing overlord of the forests surrounding Lilycove City, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. In addition, the Vespiquen's true strength lies not only in the opponent's power.
Instead, a single Vespiquen can command thousands or even tens of Combee in the hive to attack and retreat simultaneously, as easily as if they were her own arm.
This powerful ability to control and command is what makes the opponent so terrifying.
It turns out that the Vespiquen was driven to desperation by the loss of her successor, which led to this Bug Tide.
Officer Jenny Liya never imagined that she would have to rely on Roy to find out the source of the Bug Tide.
Fortunately, the two sides haven't broken into a more intense conflict, otherwise it would have been an irreparable situation.
"So what should we do now?"
Officer Jenny Liya regretted asking the question as soon as she did; she realized she had acted rashly in her desperation, asking about the boy Roy.
However, the next second Roy actually gave his own answer.
"Let's go see the Vespiquen."
Roy told Officer Jenny Liya about his plan to meet the Vespiquen, appease her and the Bug Tide, and then go to Lilycove City to capture Hunter X.
According to Beedrill, Butterfree found Hunter X close to evening, and since the area around Lilycove City, including the port, is now under lockdown, Hunter X is definitely still inside Lilycove City.
"Go... go see the Vespiquen?"
Officer Jenny Liya was shocked by Roy's idea and didn't react for a moment.
"But... where is the Vespiquen now?"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Knowing that Roy wanted to see the Vespiquen, the Beedrill waved its Twineedle and beckoned Roy to follow it.
He could take Roy to see the Vespiquen. As the leader of the strongest Beedrill clan in the forests surrounding Lilycove City, she still held some influence among Bug-type Pokémon.
Roy nodded and was about to follow Beedrill away, trusting that Beedrill wouldn't lie to him.
"Roy, maybe we should think of another solution. The Vespiquen might be in a bad mood right now, what if..."
Officer Jenny Liya wanted to stop Roy, mainly because she didn't know the story between Roy and Beedrill, but she was stumped by a question Roy asked her:
Do you have any other ideas?
Other methods?
Roy's question reached her, and now... it seems like this is the only way.
A light flashed by in the distance.
"Sister Liya, are you alright?"
Nurse Joy from Lilycove City has also arrived at the front lines of the Bug Tide's clash with Human Pokémon Trainer, accompanied by Chansey, who had played cards with Roy before.
"Geely! Geely?"
Chansey immediately recognized Roy who had given him the wooden plaque.
However, now is not the time for reminiscing. After receiving a message from Officer Jenny Liya, Nurse Joy brought Chansey to treat the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon on the field.
She also received news of the Bug Tide on the outskirts of Lilycove City, but she now sees that both the Pokémon Trainer and Beedrill seem to be very peaceful.
So, has the Bug Tide already receded?
